Scary Book Recommendations for Halloween

Hello Rustic Beauties!


I love this time of the year. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love the feel in the air and the all the scary movies you can watch. Which granted, I don't just watch them on Halloween, I watch them all year long, but I love when you can decorate your house and bring out all the scary stuff.


In the middle of all the scary movies, decorating, and candy, lets not forget all the scary books that will give you that Halloween feel.


I am posting a few books that I think are a good Halloween feel. Make sure you grab you a snack and something to drink and sit back curled up in a nice warm blanket and read you once of these following recommendations.

Against the ominous backdrop of the influenza epidemic of 1918, Annie, a new girl at school, is claimed as best friend by Elsie, a classmate who is a tattletale, a liar, and a thief. Soon Annie makes other friends and finds herself joining them in teasing and tormenting Elsie. Elsie dies from influenza, but then she returns to reclaim Annie's friendship and punish all the girls who bullied her. Young readers who revel in spooky stories will relish this chilling tale of a girl haunted by a vengeful ghost.

After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boarding house. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house’s mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. Far from a place of rest, the house is a place of judgment, and Mr. Morningside and his unusual staff are meant to execute their own justice on those who are past being saved.

Louisa begins to fear for a young man named Lee who is not like the other guests. He is charismatic and kind, and Louisa knows that it may be up to her to save him from an untimely judgment. But in this house of distortions and lies, how can Louisa be sure whom to trust?
